I haven't looked into it, but are there not folks out there manufacturing after market long range fuel tanks? I used to live in Australia where the distance between gas stations could be a major issue - big fuel tanks were not that tough to come by, and if they didn't quite work out there were auxiliary fuel tank options for many 4x4's. Usually the after market stuff was much stronger and resistant to fairly serious impact also, when you are in the middle of nowhere it is worth having a tank that can take a beating.
Here for example.

If not, seems like an opportunity for someone!!

They squeezed an astonishing 32.281 miles per gallon from the EcoBoost-powered half-ton.

Another interesting fact -- CleanMPG squeezed 36 gallons of gasoline into the F-150's 26 gallon factory fuel system by following a slow fill approach that utilized all of the gas vapor space in the tank and fuel lines. This required up to an hour to trickle fuel into the truck.

Overfilling the tank is potentially harmful to the evap canister, yes?
